Former Florida Anchor Writes Second Book

By Kevin Eck 

If you’re wondering what happened to former WFTS anchor Linda Hurtado after she left the Tampa ABC affiliate in May, she’s just about to be an author for the second time.

Hurtado, or as she’s know in the publishing world, Linda Bond, has written a romantic adventure titled Cuba Undercover. The book is a romantic adventure about a Cuban-American TV reporter.

Rebecca Menendez’s success comes from playing by the rules. When she’s kidnapped by a fierce and intensely handsome man who needs her help, however, all of those rules seem pointless. Nothing could have prepared her for being taken hostage…or the irresistible reward if she complies: information about her long-thought dead father.

Antonio Vega has spent almost every day of his adult life dreaming of revenging his father’s death. With his sister’s life and freedom in jeopardy, Antonio isn’t taking any chances. But once Rebecca and Antonio are in Cuba, they’re immersed in a world of corruption, deceit, and betrayal. It’s a deadly game…and there are no rules.

Bond published her first book in July of last year. Her second comes out next Tuesday, July 14.

Hurtado left Scripps-owned WFTS in May. “Right after my diagnosis of breast cancer in 2011, I realized I’ve been running hard for many years both personally and professionally – and that, when the right time came, I wanted to take a break and slow down,” Hurtado told viewers at the time. “That time is now. For many reasons.”
